In our tutorial we want to demonstrate how the Vaganova method can be used not alone for students visiting a professional ballet academy
wanting to become dancers one day, but how it can be successfully taught to students preparing for a professional school or learning ballet as a hobby.
Various pre exercises and a systematic build up for each movement will enable the ballet student and the teacher likewise to achieve highly satisfactory results.
If you want to learn more about this teaching-technique then look into my book:
"Classical Balletschooling with the Vaganova method".
With patience and dedication you will succeed.

The Russians also had decisive effects with LGOPS defending Moscow in WW2 and deliberately send small groups of saboteurs behind enemy lines with their SPETSNAZ special forces.

Forgetting and relearning is more effective than forcing yourself to learn blocks of information. Check out http://bjorklab.psych.ucla.edu/research.htmlTranscript: Hi. Language learning is one of the most enriching, rewarding, satisfying activities we can engage in. If you’re interested in this subject, please subscribe to my channel where I talk about my experience in learning 15 languages.
The most important task in language learning, in my opinion, is the acquisition of vocabulary words. If we have enough words, we can make sense of what we’re reading or listening to and we can somehow express ourselves. Vocabulary is much more important than grammar. The grammar you acquire gradually as you become familiar with the language, with the words, but first of all you need words.
So how do we acquire vocabulary?
Well, I think there are two sorts of approaches. One is the deliberate study of vocabulary by reading vocabulary lists and trying to memorize them or doing flashcards, keeping handwritten lists, these kinds of things, the other is to learn through a lot of exposure. Now, the strategy that you adopt will depend on your personal preference and also, in my view, on how much time you have.
If you have a lot of time, six-seven hours a day as I did when I was studying Mandarin Chinese 45 years ago, then you can take an hour a day for the deliberate study of vocabulary. However, if you have one hour a day and two-thirds or three-quarters of that time, which I call dead time, is in your car, doing tasks around the house, walking the dog, then I suggest you don’t try to deliberately learn the vocabulary.
There is significant research which shows that what they call block learning, where you take some material and try to force yourself to learn it, review it many, many times and go through, for example, your list of vocabulary or your flashcards over and over in the hope of nailing that and mastering it, that is relatively inefficient and that interleaved learning, (interleaving, I suggest you Google the term) in other words, where you come across some information, then you forget it, you go look at some other information and you come back to that first information, so you’re sort of interleaving layers of different things, forgetting and relearning, actually enables you to learn things better.
Very quickly, the Law of Diminishing Returns sets in when we’re trying deliberately to learn something. It’s no longer fresh for our brain and the brain basically pushes back, whereas if you forget and come back to it you learn better. But if you have six-seven hours a day, there’s nothing wrong spending some time reviewing flashcards.
If I look at my own pattern where I consume a lot of content through listening and reading and acquiring lots and lots of words, if I had to review them all in flashcards or on lists I would spend my whole… I have to decide. Do I want to spend my time reviewing words in flashcards or do I want to spend that time listening and reading to things of interest. I tend to do the listening and reading, I find that I acquire words very quickly and I have an enjoyable time doing it.
Of course, speaking is also helpful. What you hear the native speakers say while speaking is what I call high resonance, just as interesting content is high resonance. You notice things better if you’re engaged in a conversation and you also notice when you weren’t able to find the words yourself and then you hear someone else use them. So that’s very, very good.
However, in my own case, I prefer to delay that speaking situation unless there’s a need, if I’m living in the country where the language is spoken. Otherwise, I prefer to delay it until I have something meaningful to say and can understand what the other person is saying. Otherwise, we end up with a very limited range of language that we’re exposed to like, “How are you?” “What’s your name?” “What’s the weather like?”
Therefore, again, I prefer to give myself that significant exposure through listening and reading, quite confident that the high-frequency words will appear very often, the medium-frequency words will appear less often, but I will eventually get them, and the very low-frequency words, some will stick and some won’t. If they’re that low frequency, maybe I don’t really need them.
Ultimately, the choice is with the learner and my preference is to study in an enjoyable way. If I were in a course somewhere working five-six hours a day having to write an exam, I might take a different approach. There you have it, that’s my take on how to acquire vocabulary.
I’ll continue once a week with these discussions on language learning and, if you’re interested, please subscribe to my channel. Bye for now.

Ballet

Ballet/ˈbæleɪ/ (French:[balɛ]) is a type of performance dance that originated in the Italian Renaissance courts of the 15th century and later developed into a concert dance form in France and Russia. It has since become a widespread, highly technical form of dance with its own vocabulary based on French terminology. It has been globally influential and has defined the foundational techniques used in many other dance genres. Becoming a ballet dancer requires years of training. Ballet has been taught in various schools around the world, which have historically incorporated their own cultures to evolve the art.

Ballet may also refer to a ballet dance work, which consists of the choreography and music for a ballet production. A well-known example of this is The Nutcracker, a two-act ballet that was originally choreographed by Marius Petipa and Lev Ivanov with a music score by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. Ballets are choreographed and performed by trained artists. Many classical ballets are performed with classical music accompaniment and use elaborate costumes and staging, though there are exceptions to this. Most notably, American choreographer George Balanchine is known for his plotless neoclassical ballets which are often performed in simple leotards and tights without scenery.

Soviet Army

The Soviet Army (Russian:Советская Армия, Sovetskaya Armiya) is the name given to the main land-based branch of the Soviet Armed Forces between February 1946 and December 1991, when it was replaced with the Russian Ground Forces, although it was not taken fully out of service until 25 December 1993. Until 25 February 1946, the force was known as the Red Army, established by decree on 15 (28) January 1918 "to protect the population, territorial integrity and civil liberties in the territory of the Soviet state."

After the Second World War

At the end of the Second World War the Red Army had over 500 rifle divisions and about a tenth that number of tank formations. Their experience of war gave the Soviets such faith in tank forces that from that point the number of tank divisions remained virtually unchanged, whereas the wartime infantry force was cut by two-thirds. The Tank Corps of the late war period were converted to tank divisions, and from 1957 the Rifle Divisions were converted to Motor Rifle Divisions (MRDs). MRDs had three motorized rifle regiments and a tank regiment, for a total of ten motor rifle battalions and six tank battalions; tank divisions had the proportions reversed.

*Disclaimer: This video (and the ones that follow in this series) is geared towards people who do not yet have a strong understanding of ballet as an art. If you have an advanced understanding of ballet, it may seem that I am speaking too generally or not doing the subject justice. I hope that helps you to appreciate this series for what it is!
Anyway, I didn't make this very clear in the video, so I wanted to mention that my goal was to merely express the differences in aesthetics and what each style emphasizes rather than to go in depth about each training method. That would have taken MUCH more time haha. Regardless, I hope you enjoyed this and that you'll stay tuned for future episodes in my #BalletforDummies series. Let me know what else you'd like me to address in the realm of "Ballet101" topics! Keep in mind that this series in not meant to address how to become a better dancer, but how to understand the in and outs of the art form instead. I can't wait to read your questions and comments!

GLOSSARY:
*Onomatope: Although in the English language the term onomatopoeia is understood to be limited to words imitating sounds, in the Japanese language "onomatope" includes not only words imitating sounds but also words describing, for example, action, emotion, movement, and shape, which normally don't produce sound. In the English language, these words are usually called "Ideophone."
*Ono no Imoko: was a Japanese politician and diplomat in the late 6th and early 7th century.
*giongo: words that mimic actual sounds.
*gitaigo: words that depict non-auditory senses.

Vocabulary - Two Approaches to Memorizing

Transc...

Forgetting and relearning is more effective than forcing yourself to learn blocks of information. Check out http://bjorklab.psych.ucla.edu/research.htmlTranscript: Hi. Language learning is one of the most enriching, rewarding, satisfying activities we can engage in. If you’re interested in this subject, please subscribe to my channel where I talk about my experience in learning 15 languages.
The most important task in language learning, in my opinion, is the acquisition of vocabulary words. If we have enough words, we can make sense of what we’re reading or listening to and we can somehow express ourselves. Vocabulary is much more important than grammar. The grammar you acquire gradually as you become familiar with the language, with the words, but first of all you need words.
So how do we acquire vocabulary?
Well, I think there are two sorts of approaches. One is the deliberate study of vocabulary by reading vocabulary lists and trying to memorize them or doing flashcards, keeping handwritten lists, these kinds of things, the other is to learn through a lot of exposure. Now, the strategy that you adopt will depend on your personal preference and also, in my view, on how much time you have.
If you have a lot of time, six-seven hours a day as I did when I was studying Mandarin Chinese 45 years ago, then you can take an hour a day for the deliberate study of vocabulary. However, if you have one hour a day and two-thirds or three-quarters of that time, which I call dead time, is in your car, doing tasks around the house, walking the dog, then I suggest you don’t try to deliberately learn the vocabulary.
There is significant research which shows that what they call block learning, where you take some material and try to force yourself to learn it, review it many, many times and go through, for example, your list of vocabulary or your flashcards over and over in the hope of nailing that and mastering it, that is relatively inefficient and that interleaved learning, (interleaving, I suggest you Google the term) in other words, where you come across some information, then you forget it, you go look at some other information and you come back to that first information, so you’re sort of interleaving layers of different things, forgetting and relearning, actually enables you to learn things better.
Very quickly, the Law of Diminishing Returns sets in when we’re trying deliberately to learn something. It’s no longer fresh for our brain and the brain basically pushes back, whereas if you forget and come back to it you learn better. But if you have six-seven hours a day, there’s nothing wrong spending some time reviewing flashcards.
If I look at my own pattern where I consume a lot of content through listening and reading and acquiring lots and lots of words, if I had to review them all in flashcards or on lists I would spend my whole… I have to decide. Do I want to spend my time reviewing words in flashcards or do I want to spend that time listening and reading to things of interest. I tend to do the listening and reading, I find that I acquire words very quickly and I have an enjoyable time doing it.
Of course, speaking is also helpful. What you hear the native speakers say while speaking is what I call high resonance, just as interesting content is high resonance. You notice things better if you’re engaged in a conversation and you also notice when you weren’t able to find the words yourself and then you hear someone else use them. So that’s very, very good.
However, in my own case, I prefer to delay that speaking situation unless there’s a need, if I’m living in the country where the language is spoken. Otherwise, I prefer to delay it until I have something meaningful to say and can understand what the other person is saying. Otherwise, we end up with a very limited range of language that we’re exposed to like, “How are you?” “What’s your name?” “What’s the weather like?”
Therefore, again, I prefer to give myself that significant exposure through listening and reading, quite confident that the high-frequency words will appear very often, the medium-frequency words will appear less often, but I will eventually get them, and the very low-frequency words, some will stick and some won’t. If they’re that low frequency, maybe I don’t really need them.
Ultimately, the choice is with the learner and my preference is to study in an enjoyable way. If I were in a course somewhere working five-six hours a day having to write an exam, I might take a different approach. There you have it, that’s my take on how to acquire vocabulary.
I’ll continue once a week with these discussions on language learning and, if you’re interested, please subscribe to my channel. Bye for now.

Beat Girl (Full Movie) 1961

Here's my latest full film upload, the British jd flick, "Beat Girl" from 1961.
This sleazy little flick was even sleazier in a "Certified X" version that was released on video 10 years or so ago by Kino Video. That version is a bit longer and has a brief nude shot, which was excised in this slightly shorter version.
Well, of course, we can't show THAT here on You Tube, and in all honesty, this version that I uploaded moves much more briskly at under 90 minutes.
Plot? Bad beatnik girl Gillian Hills resents her architect/engineer daddy (David Farrar) for marrying nice, loving, but young Nichole (Noelle Adam), a French lady who harbors a "secret." (Let's just say that she was once a "dancer" who also "supplemented" her income.)

More films about Russian ballet: https://rtd.rt.com/tags/ballet/
"Arabesque", or "Russian OpenBalletCompetition Arabesque named after Ekaterina Maximova", is an international dance contest held in Russia. Established in 1988, it is headed by Vladimir Vasiliev, a globally renowned ballet dancer, choreographer and former director of the famous Bolshoi Ballet. Best known across the world for his principal role in Spartacus, he has received the most prestigious dance awards of Russia, France, Italy, USA, Brazil and Japan.
Over the years, the competition jury has included world-famous ballet stars. Since 1994, it has been held under the auspices of UNESCO. Every year, emerging talents from Russia and across the world take part in the competition to showcase their abilities and boost their budding careers.
In this episode, we meet contestants who hope to dance their way to victory. Anna and Ivan are partners both on stage and in life as they are a married couple. Marco is a son of a ballet dancer, striving to continue his family tradition.

Here's my latest full film upload, the British jd flick, "Beat Girl" from 1961.
This sleazy little flick was even sleazier in a "Certified X" version that was released on video 10 years or so ago by Kino Video. That version is a bit longer and has a brief nude shot, which was excised in this slightly shorter version.
Well, of course, we can't show THAT here on You Tube, and in all honesty, this version that I uploaded moves much more briskly at under 90 minutes.
Plot? Bad beatnik girl Gillian Hills resents her architect/engineer daddy (David Farrar) for marrying nice, loving, but young Nichole (Noelle Adam), a French lady who harbors a "secret." (Let's just say that she was once a "dancer" who also "supplemented" her income.)
Hills and her delinquent/beatnik friends (which includes rock n' roller Adam Faith) hold wild parties and even engage in rather self destructive acts of "chicken" with both cars and railroad tracks(!) to show their displeasure of daddy's choice for a wife.
Of course, these are the strangest sort of "bad" kids, since Adam Faith says that "fighting's for squares" and even "drinking is for squares!" Nothing wrong with that, but one wonders what type of "rebel" he is after those types of clean-teen statements!
Look for both Christopher Lee and Oliver Reed in this gem, both of whom took turns at England'sHammer Studios as Dracula and the Werewolf respectively, both before and after "Beat Girl," as well as Nigel Green, who a year before "Beat Girl" was in Britain's answer to Godzilla, "Gorgo", as well as appearing as Hercules, two years after "Beat Girl", in the Harryhaussen infused "Jason And The Argonauts." Also on hand is Shirley-Ann Field, who gets to exercise her acting (and singing!) chops in "Beat Girl" much more effectively than she would be allowed to in the historical spectacle, "Kings of The Sun" two years later.
Released in the USA as "WildFor Kicks", "Beat Girl" is noted for British rocker Adam Faith's first film role, as well as John Barry's rocking film score...not unlike his arrangement of Monty Norman's "James Bond Theme" which he would make famous a year later in "Dr. No."
Enjoy!

Complete series: https://rtd.rt.com/films/iron-characters/
Kachkanar Mining Complex is one of the largest mining companies located in Sverdlovskaya region, Russia. It exploits iron ore, which is smelted into high-tensile steel. Working in an iron ore mine is hard work, calling for the strength of will and cool nerves needed to exercise extreme caution when working with hazardous materials.
Tatyana Rozhdestvenskaya has worked as a dispatcher at the Mining Complex for years. Despite a busy timetable, low salary and poor working conditions, Tatyana has to display self-confidence and strength to complete her work professionally and gain the respect of her male colleagues. She has no fear of the responsibility and suggests new approaches to resolve management and technical issues.
To encourage younger staff to join the mountain plant, an internship program was designed to give newcomers a chance to see mining industry from the inside. Almost every job demands a high level of knowledge and technical experience. AntonSokolov wants to try his hand at being a dispatcher to get a better understanding of the whole process. The job is so stressful that his first working day turns into a disaster.
RT Doc offers an unvarnished tour of a large Mining Complex. Anton, the young trainee will have a challenge on is hands to get through his first day without giving up.
Working at a mine is hard and oftentimes dangerous. It involves dealing with heavy machinery and explosions. It also involves a joint collaboration of professionals with different skills and jobs. Many of these professionals are women. Meet the ladies who do what many would consider a job reserved for tough men. Watch full series at https://rtd.rt.com/films/iron-characters/#part-1

The Differences Between American, French, Russian, and English Ballet Styles - #BalletforDummies

*Disclaimer: This video (and the ones that follow in this series) is geared towards people who do not yet have a strong understanding of ballet as an art. If you have an advanced understanding of ballet, it may seem that I am speaking too generally or not doing the subject justice. I hope that helps you to appreciate this series for what it is!
Anyway, I didn't make this very clear in the video, so I wanted to mention that my goal was to merely express the differences in aesthetics and what each style emphasizes rather than to go in depth about each training method. That would have taken MUCH more time haha. Regardless, I hope you enjoyed this and that you'll stay tuned for future episodes in my #BalletforDummies series. Let me know what else you'd like me to address in the realm of "Ballet101" topics! Keep in mind that this series in not meant to address how to become a better dancer, but how to understand the in and outs of the art form instead. I can't wait to read your questions and comments!

Ballet Tutorial For Beginners - Vaganova Method - Battement fondu

In our tutorial we want to demonstrate how the Vaganova method can be used not alone for students visiting a professional ballet academy
wanting to become dancers one day, but how it can be successfully taught to students preparing for a professional school or learning ballet as a hobby.
Various pre exercises and a systematic build up for each movement will enable the ballet student and the teacher likewise to achieve highly satisfactory results.
If you want to learn more about this teaching-technique then look into my book:
"Classical Balletschooling with the Vaganova method".
With patience and dedication you will succeed.

AIRBORNE! Russian Spetsnaz LGOPS on Purpose; VDV by Light Tanks

AmericanLittle Groups of Paratroopers (LGOPS) was an accidental effect during the NormandyD-Day landings due to scattered drops. We tend to want to fight set-piece battles with larger units against larger objectives.
http://www.combatreform.org/paratrooper.htm
The Russians also had decisive effects with LGOPS defending Moscow in WW2 and deliberately send small groups of saboteurs behind enemy lines with their SPETSNAZ special forces. Best source is Suvorov's book, Inside the Aquarium. This amazing video shows a Spetsnaz LGOPHigh Altitude, Low Opening (HALO) Airborne operation against simulated NATO surface-to-surface ballistic missiles.
http://www.combatreform.org/warandpeaceinthespaceage.htm
Notice the AKM bayonets and scabbards joined to cut wire: we adopted this feature on our M9 WireCutter Bayonets:
http://www.combatreform.org/bayonets.htm
Towards the end of the video, you will see the main force VDV Paratroopers drop with their own ASU-85 85mm gun STUG and BMD infantry carrying light tanks to act as operational maneuver groups (OMGs)--yet another capability we lack today in the American Airborne.

GLOSSARY:
*Onomatope: Although in the English language the term onomatopoeia is understood to be limited to words imitating sounds, in the Japanese language "onomatope" includes not only words imitating sounds but also words describing, for example, action, emotion, movement, and shape, which normally don't produce sound. In the English language, these words are usually called "Ideophone."
*Ono no Imoko: was a Japanese politician and diplomat in the late 6th and early 7th century.
*giongo: words that mimic actual sounds.
*gitaigo: words that depict non-auditory senses.

Vocabulary - Two Approaches to Memorizing

Forgetting and relearning is more effective than forcing yourself to learn blocks of information. Check out http://bjorklab.psych.ucla.edu/research.htmlTranscript: Hi. Language learning is one of the most enriching, rewarding, satisfying activities we can engage in. If you’re interested in this subject, please subscribe to my channel where I talk about my experience in learning 15 languages.
The most important task in language learning, in my opinion, is the acquisition of vocabulary words. If we have enough words, we can make sense of what we’re reading or listening to and we can somehow express ourselves. Vocabulary is much more important than grammar. The grammar you acquire gradually as you become familiar with the language, with the words, but first of all you need words.
So how do we acquire vocabulary?
Well, I think there are two sorts of approaches. One is the deliberate study of vocabulary by reading vocabulary lists and trying to memorize them or doing flashcards, keeping handwritten lists, these kinds of things, the other is to learn through a lot of exposure. Now, the strategy that you adopt will depend on your personal preference and also, in my view, on how much time you have.
If you have a lot of time, six-seven hours a day as I did when I was studying Mandarin Chinese 45 years ago, then you can take an hour a day for the deliberate study of vocabulary. However, if you have one hour a day and two-thirds or three-quarters of that time, which I call dead time, is in your car, doing tasks around the house, walking the dog, then I suggest you don’t try to deliberately learn the vocabulary.
There is significant research which shows that what they call block learning, where you take some material and try to force yourself to learn it, review it many, many times and go through, for example, your list of vocabulary or your flashcards over and over in the hope of nailing that and mastering it, that is relatively inefficient and that interleaved learning, (interleaving, I suggest you Google the term) in other words, where you come across some information, then you forget it, you go look at some other information and you come back to that first information, so you’re sort of interleaving layers of different things, forgetting and relearning, actually enables you to learn things better.
Very quickly, the Law of Diminishing Returns sets in when we’re trying deliberately to learn something. It’s no longer fresh for our brain and the brain basically pushes back, whereas if you forget and come back to it you learn better. But if you have six-seven hours a day, there’s nothing wrong spending some time reviewing flashcards.
If I look at my own pattern where I consume a lot of content through listening and reading and acquiring lots and lots of words, if I had to review them all in flashcards or on lists I would spend my whole… I have to decide. Do I want to spend my time reviewing words in flashcards or do I want to spend that time listening and reading to things of interest. I tend to do the listening and reading, I find that I acquire words very quickly and I have an enjoyable time doing it.
Of course, speaking is also helpful. What you hear the native speakers say while speaking is what I call high resonance, just as interesting content is high resonance. You notice things better if you’re engaged in a conversation and you also notice when you weren’t able to find the words yourself and then you hear someone else use them. So that’s very, very good.
However, in my own case, I prefer to delay that speaking situation unless there’s a need, if I’m living in the country where the language is spoken. Otherwise, I prefer to delay it until I have something meaningful to say and can understand what the other person is saying. Otherwise, we end up with a very limited range of language that we’re exposed to like, “How are you?” “What’s your name?” “What’s the weather like?”
Therefore, again, I prefer to give myself that significant exposure through listening and reading, quite confident that the high-frequency words will appear very often, the medium-frequency words will appear less often, but I will eventually get them, and the very low-frequency words, some will stick and some won’t. If they’re that low frequency, maybe I don’t really need them.
Ultimately, the choice is with the learner and my preference is to study in an enjoyable way. If I were in a course somewhere working five-six hours a day having to write an exam, I might take a different approach. There you have it, that’s my take on how to acquire vocabulary.
I’ll continue once a week with these discussions on language learning and, if you’re interested, please subscribe to my channel. Bye for now.

Russian Vaganova Ballet Technique Documentary

www.vaganovadancealberta.com
The VaganovaDanceSociety was founded by Maria Mitrache-Bokor in 1988 in Edmonton Alberta to promote the Russian technique developed by Mme. Agrippina Vaganova (1879-1951). Mme. Vaganova created a unique classical ballet technique,unifying and combining the best of French, Italian, Danish and Russian methods.
The technique is characterized by a harmonious movement of the whole body, soft arms with a strong back, suppleness of the body with iron aplomb, a noble and natural placement of the head, precise coordination combined with a unique sense of musicality.
A major goal of the Society has been to provide unique dance opportunities and one of the best techniques for ballet students,professional dancers and ballet teachers in Alberta.
The Society has produced stage performances, hosted and attended workshops and festivals, organized trips, performances and cultural exchanges in Canada, Russia, Romania, Australia and the United States.

Beat Girl (Full Movie) 1961

Here's my latest full film upload, the British jd flick, "Beat Girl" from 1961.
This sleazy little flick was even sleazier in a "Certified X" version that was released on video 10 years or so ago by Kino Video. That version is a bit longer and has a brief nude shot, which was excised in this slightly shorter version.
Well, of course, we can't show THAT here on You Tube, and in all honesty, this version that I uploaded moves much more briskly at under 90 minutes.
Plot? Bad beatnik girl Gillian Hills resents her architect/engineer daddy (David Farrar) for marrying nice, loving, but young Nichole (Noelle Adam), a French lady who harbors a "secret." (Let's just say that she was once a "dancer" who also "supplemented" her income.)
Hills and her delinquent/beatnik friends (which includes rock n' roller Adam Faith) hold wild parties and even engage in rather self destructive acts of "chicken" with both cars and railroad tracks(!) to show their displeasure of daddy's choice for a wife.
Of course, these are the strangest sort of "bad" kids, since Adam Faith says that "fighting's for squares" and even "drinking is for squares!" Nothing wrong with that, but one wonders what type of "rebel" he is after those types of clean-teen statements!
Look for both Christopher Lee and Oliver Reed in this gem, both of whom took turns at England'sHammer Studios as Dracula and the Werewolf respectively, both before and after "Beat Girl," as well as Nigel Green, who a year before "Beat Girl" was in Britain's answer to Godzilla, "Gorgo", as well as appearing as Hercules, two years after "Beat Girl", in the Harryhaussen infused "Jason And The Argonauts." Also on hand is Shirley-Ann Field, who gets to exercise her acting (and singing!) chops in "Beat Girl" much more effectively than she would be allowed to in the historical spectacle, "Kings of The Sun" two years later.
Released in the USA as "WildFor Kicks", "Beat Girl" is noted for British rocker Adam Faith's first film role, as well as John Barry's rocking film score...not unlike his arrangement of Monty Norman's "James Bond Theme" which he would make famous a year later in "Dr. No."
Enjoy!

A short essay about the basics of dialectical materialism, written by one of the main participants of the Russian Revolution, Leon Trotsky, in 1939. Dialectical materialism is the foundation of Marxism, and its main tool for understanding nature and society at large. This text is therefore a great primer for anyone wishing to get a good grasp of this essential topic.
